On to Richmond-
The unvailing of the Lee
equestrian statue at Richmond
on May 29 promises to be a grand
affair. Military organizations
and a large number of ex-Confed-
erates from all parts of the South
will be present. Two Confeder
ate songs will be sung by the mul
titude in unison, and the bands
will play nothing but Confeder
ate airs. It is probable that
quite a number of Darlington-
ians will attend. As already
announced, the round trip from
this point will cost $12.20, and
the tickets will be good from
May 25 to June 10
A Treat tor the S .uimcr Season.
It will repay any of our sub
scribers to read the opening
chapters of “Another’s Crime,”
which appear in this issue. The
novel, which is of absorbing in
terest, is by the celebrated Julian
Hawthorne, the material for it
having been gleaned from the
diary of Inspector Byrnes, the
great New York detective; it is
of itself well worth the price of
subscription to The Darlington
News, one dollar a year. The
paper will be sent on a trial trip
to any address for the space of
three months for twenty-five
cents. Now is the time to sub
scribe, so as to obtain the first
chapters of this great serial.

—Mr. D. H. Traxler will at
tend the unvailing of the Lee
monument in Richmond.
—The crop outlook was never
better than it is at present; the
oat cr#p will be short, though
the yield will be much better
than was expected some time
ago.
—The Alliance pic-nic at Gar
ner’s mill last Thursday was a
success. All.who attended were
well pleased. Messrs. Tindall
and Beasley made speeches to
the farmers, and the Timmons-
ville brass band furnished the
music.
—The “ha id-shaking” season
will soon be upon us, and as
the election draws nearer, we
hear of some of our fellow-
townsmen being bothered with
the official “Bee” in their bon
nets. Their cards will come out
later when they have done all
the sounding in the county and,
of course, get the promise of the
support of all the township lead

—This is a good year for fish

of fish offered for sale.
—Mr. H. E. C. Fountain has
the finest corn we have seen
anywhere.
—The children of the Metho

last Sunday as “Children’s
Day.” A collection was taken
up for needy Sunday-schools. *
—Mr. Walter L. Wilson, of
Sumter, is teaching at our Acad
emy, and is giving entire satis
faction tothe patrons.
—The farmers in this section
are too busy just now to engage
in politics. We do not know
how many of them are Tillman-
itos, but at present all of. them
are “anti-Greenites.” That is,
they are trying to rout “General
Green.”
—The prospects for a good
crop were never brighter than
they are present. Good stands
of cotton have been obtained,
and the farmers are nearly
through chopping. Corn is doing
well, and so are the gardens.
There has been a wonderful im
provement in the oat crop, and
nearly a full harvest of this
grain will be made. The fruit
crop will be short, owing to the
fact that many of the trees were
injured by insects during the
warm weather in the winter
season.-

hard one, as it blew down some
trees that had been standing for
many years. The wind was fol

was much needed.

They have made plats of all the
timber land passed over, and
have offered to purchase every
tract for cash. Where they can
not purchase the timber separ
ately they buy land and all.
Several parties in this county
have sold to them, and it’s only
a quest:’ m of time when they
will buy all the timbered land to
be had. These men say that the
richness of our river bottoms and
cane brakes surpass anything
they ever dreamed of, and they
expect at no distant day to wall
in the river and utilize this
“garden spot of the world.”
This policy is to buy up the land
and lease to the former owners
on advantageous terms for a
series of years.
LAMAU.
—We hear of some grass
among the farmers, but gener
ally crops are in fine condition

the cause of death to be heart
disease. The jury’s verdict was
in accordance with the doctor’s
opinion.
—Miss Nettie Thomas, who
has been teaching at High Hill,
accompanied by Miss Beulah
Wilson, is visiting Mrs. E. L.
Gray. They will spend a week
or two here ; Miss Thomas will
then leave for her home in Un

life to our social circle, during
their stav, and our young folks
will endeavor to make it as
pleasant as possible for them.
